  • Publication number: 20240108844
    Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 11887297
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for evaluating a set of computed tomography data associated with a lattice structure. The lattice structure may be additively manufactured. The computed tomography data may be segmented using a filter for identifying blob-like structures to identify nodes present within the lattice structure. A three-dimensional path traversal is applied to volumetric data to identify a plurality of struts within the lattice structure that are compared to corresponding struts within a set if three-dimensional mesh data of the lattice structure to identify defective struts. Further, two-dimensional slices may be extracted from each of the computed tomography data and the mesh data and compared to identify one or more inconsistencies indicative of defects within the lattice structure.

  • Patent number: 6584778
    Abstract: A cooling air cooling system is selectively operable to reduce fuel gum deposits within the cooling system during gas turbine engine operations. The cooling system includes a recirculating loop that includes at least three heat exchangers in fluid communication with the recirculating loop. A first heat exchanger cools cooling air supplied to the gas turbine engine. A second heat exchanger cools fluid exiting the first of the heat exchangers with fan discharge air prior to the fluid entering the third heat exchanger. A third heat exchanger uses combustor main fuel flow to cool the fluid circulating in the recirculating loop.
